Aponogeton distachyum Thunb. CAPE ASPARAGUS. CAPE POND-WEED. South Africa. This plant has become naturalized in a stream near Montpelier, France. Its flowering spikes, known as water untjie, are in South Africa in high repute as a pickle [1] and also afford a spinach [2]. In Kaffraria, the roasted roots are reckoned a great delicacy [3].
